- Phys Ed: Your Brain on Exercise — What goes on inside your brain when you exercise? That question has preoccupied a growing number of scientists in recent years, as well as many of us who exercise. In the late 1990s, Dr. Fred Gage and his colleagues at the Laboratory of Genetics at the Salk Institute in San Diego elegantly proved that human and animal brains produce new brain cells (a process called neurogenesis) and that exercise increases neurogenesis. The brains of mice and rats that were allowed to run on wheels pulsed with vigorous, newly born neurons, and those animals then breezed through mazes and other tests of rodent I.Q., showing that neurogenesis improves thinking.7/5/2010
- Phys Ed: What Exercise Science Doesn’t Know About Women — Several years ago, Dr. David Rowlands, a senior lecturer with the Institute of Food, Nutrition and Human Health at Massey University in New Zealand, set out to study the role of protein in recovery from hard exercise. He asked a group of male cyclists to ride intensely until their legs were aching and virtually all of their stored muscle fuel had been depleted. The cyclists then consumed bars and drinks that contained either mostly carbohydrates or both carbohydrates and protein. Then, over the next few days, they completed two sessions of hard intervals. One took place the following morning; the next, two days later.6/30/2010

- Improvements Coming in the New Year — Stage 1 - New Years renovation plans:
Over the New Years holiday we will be renovating the main cardio floor in order to accommodate more pieces of equipment. By creating a platform under the existing cardio we can also clean up the floor of the electrical cords, which members had to walk over in order to enter the machines. The addition of more cardio pieces will hopefully alleviate some of the peak hours crowding. 12/27/2009
